Default need more power

i have a 96 sportsman 400 2 stroke topend rebuilt,new mud lites and a bunch of other new parts, pics in my album i really do have a quad.

i know this guy with a suzuki eiger,he is a really good ride(pro) and when the day comes that i can ride with him, i dont want the eiger to show me up, i wanna be atleast as fast as him, because i deserve respect.

so what are some mods i can do, to be as fast as him?

also i heard gorilla winches are better than warn,any truth to that?

and im thinking of buying 03 ford f150 is this a good choice??? i pull a 20 ft boat, a trailer with 3 atvs does this have alot of power.

The 400 you have is fast already, I'd be surprised if he leaves you. The drag races we have here locally back that up in a 300 foot run. Clutch kit and pipe and lean it out alittle will really wake it up

I have heard of a fabled "Eigerman" who appears wearing a cape and his Eigerman suit with the giant "E" emblazoned on the chest. Able to go where others dare not and having the admiration and respect due a "Real Manly Man" he rises above all who dare challenge him. Standing tall and alone at the summit he laughs jauntily at the feeble attempts of those who foolishly attempt to follow in his tracks. Eigerman is renowned for driving only the finest of manly colored vehicles, equipped with the finest of non-fading accessories, in a truly manly manner which earns him the highest of respect from his would-be-peers.

hoytultratec you have surely set a lofty goal for yourself if this is the eiger rider to whom you allude. Would that some day I would be so lucky as to be able to glimpse the real Eigerman in action riding, (riding, such a simple word to describe his mastery of the machine), thru the woods. But I sincerely doubt if we are speaking of the same man for apparently several have tried to entice the Eigerman to combat but he has found none worthy of his attention. I doubt if you would be able to add enough power to your obviously inferior quad to be a meaningful threat to the one and only true Eigerman.

Perhaps the eiger rider to which you refer is a mere mortal. Then you would do quite well with the equipment you presently have. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The only way you would be able to keep up with an Eiger, is with another Eiger....PERIOD! You could also take some riding classes to improve your skills and don't forget that every 7lbs equals 1 HP, so you might try and go to Jenny. My friend's Ford has MoJo(f150) and pulls a 30 ft. yacht, 2 quads, 2 sleds, 2 water skis and a partridge in a pear tree....simultaneously! I think you'll be fine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
